* Set `plugin.name` Debezium parameter to `wal2json`. Note that RDS is running older version of the plug-in. We are trying to detect that it is the case but the detection is not 100 % reliable. In case of problems use `wal2json_rds` value to manually override the detection routine.

==== Known limitations
57+
The `wal2json` plug-in used in Amazon RDS environment is not fully up-to-date with the recent additions to the upstream project.
58+
Till the plug-in is updated please expect certain limits in capabilities vs the plug-in version used by Debezium.

* The replication message does not carry information about type contraints like length or scale or `NULL`/`NOT NULL`.
